need special business development services. Since, no consensus has been reached yet on the most&#13;
effective means of providing such support or on the methods for evaluating the performance of these&#13;
services. However, the support required for its sustainability, growth and profitability is being provided&#13;
with the establishment of Technology Business Incubators. The increase in number of small enterprise&#13;
development strategies reflects the growing importance of the small and medium enterprises (SME__ampersandsignlsquo;s). In&#13;
particular, the Technology Business Incubators are emerging foci of entrepreneurial assistance program&#13;
and their supportive role concerns the formation and promotion of viable enterprises. It is argued that the&#13;
incubators are innovative instruments that are increasingly considered to be of prime importance in the&#13;
development and promotion of competitive small firms. This paper aims to assess the supportive role of&#13;
Technology Business Incubators on sustainability, growth and profitability concerns of SME__ampersandsignlsquo;s.&#13;
